- Welcome back to the channel
In this weeks video I show you how to replace pads and rotors on a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. In the video I show you exactly the process that I do whenever working on any of my customers cars. From grinding the hubs and calliper brackets to prepping and painting them to put them back into service as well as give you a brief description of why it is I choose coated rotors and first line pads as opposed to the cheaper stuff. I also show you how to retract the rear calliper which also is used on this application as the handbrake or emergency brake. I hope that you employ the tips and tricks that I show you in this video and that you find it entertaining and useful. Of course if you do please subscribe to the channel to support my work. It is much appreciated.
As always thanks for watching you will see you in the next one...

This is one of the most thorough brake job videos I've ever seen!
Thank you, I hope you found it helpful. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.
Just completed front brakes and rotors replacement on my 2018 Elantra. Thank you for making such a thorough How-To!
Thank you for commenting and watching.
Excellent camera work. Along with the running explanations, the clear video pictures made the front & rear brake pads & rotors replacements project appear much less formidable.
This was truly the most informative video I’ve watched. Feeling fairly confident having seen this video now. Also, the bloopers at the end killed me. Just the average day working on cars 😂
Thanks for the help
Thank you so much for the compliment. Good luck :-)
Great vid bro ! Very informative! Thank you !!
Wow bro thanks man. When installing my front pads it did not originally have the spring hardware installed. So replacing my pads/rotors for the first time myself yesterday and I reinstalled the hardware the same way I found it. I figured the springs were only on some other models of cars. My front rotors/rims get so so hot while driving and maybe it’s because I’m missing that spring. Which separates the pads while cruising.
I watched this video to see how to remove the rear emergency brake. I’m happy I watched the whole video instead!
Thanks again bro!
It may be a possibility that some models don't come with the Springs but if you're having an issue where it's heating up excessively it may be possible that you do need the springs. The best way to find that out would be to talk to the dealership parts department and ask them what Hardware comes with the pads. Sometimes if they're nice parts department they'll send you a picture of a parts diagram breakdown which sometimes will show you exactly what parts are needed. If you're seeing any sort of Bluing on the rotor is getting way too hot. I'm glad you found the video useful.
@@JimmysAutoClinic Yeah I installed the springs which came in the box with my brakes and surely enough it fixed the hot rotors. Thanks again Bro!
Awesome I'm glad it worked out.
Thank you very much! I just changed the front brakes and rotors on my hyundai ioniq with this video as my guide. It helped so much! Thanks again
Hey no problem 😊, thanks for watching, please share and subscribe.
Very well done !
I'm glad everyone has a hoist and pneumatic tools .
Me too
Lmaooo “your Cali-bracket” 😂😂😂😂 hilarious man
Very solid job on the video. Love the bloopers!
I'm glad you enjoying the bloopers. Thank you for watching them.
Great thorough job!
Thank you 😊

Thanks for the good video going to put brakes & rotors on my nieces Hyundai Elantra 2018 trying to save her money. The repair shop wanted $ 675.00 😱
Hey Anthony, glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching :-)
😂😂😂 the end was great
I am doing the same on a 2018 Hyundai
sonata LE. After watching your video very carefully and inspecting the system on my car, I noticed that there are no 17mm bolts and the emergency brake spring is non existent. Great video. Very thorough! Thanks. I'll be following it when I do the job.
Thank you for the comments. I'm glad you found the video helpful Henry 🙂
Good video and it’s good u show your funny duck clips at the end
Thanks so much for the great video! Any way you could link to some of the tools? Like the wire wheel and the others to get the rust and scale off? And to the piston depressor tools? Amateur mechanic and want to be sure I get all the right stuff!!
I could definitely try doing that. However with all this stuff that's going on I just don't have enough time but I will try my best to do that in my upcoming videos and past videos at some point. Thank you for pointing it out. If there's anything specific that you would like to know about send me a comment and I will try my best to help you out. Thank you.
@@JimmysAutoClinic I understand. Thank you again!
Hi, This is so great and in detail. I am inspired to follow. could you kindly help identify the used materials like sealants, sprays? specially at last you used with your hands. Thanks
Hey thanks for the compliment. I really do appreciate it. As for what I did in the video I unfortunately don't remember but whenever I do a brake job I use a synthetic brake grease. As for sealant I use "the right stuff". It is a black silicone by Permatex. I also use anti-seize usually copper type and white lithium grease. I hope that helps answer your question.

Thanks a lot for prompt reply. And yes that does answer the question. I have 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. Does it have same system at least for break pads? It would be great if you have video too. Kind regards
I'm glad I was able to answer your question. As for your Hyundai Ioniq oh, it will most likely have the same setup. I'm not sure 100% because I haven't worked on it. The best place to find that information out would be Hyundai itself you can ask them to compare part numbers or you can go online to search up is the part numbers for your pads and rotors would be the same as other Hyundai vehicles. I don't think it is different but I could be wrong.
@@JimmysAutoClinic Hi Jimmy, I was able to change pads and rotors with your gracious help and inspiration. I hope it is done right. I could not thank you enough. Greatly appreciate.
Thanks for the information. How do you depress the calliper if you’re just replacing the pads not rotors? The screw driver would damage the rotor, wouldn’t it?
You can still rest your screwdriver up against the rotor just be careful and don't put too much pressure as you can scrape or damage the rotor surface. I'm not 100% sure if you can sneak the screwdriver between the pad backing and caliper but a lot of times if you can't get the screwdriver in and you're afraid of damaging the rotor as long as your caliper is in decent shape and free you can move it by hand without the screwdriver.
at 31:04, you had put the rear brake pad wear indicator facing down and on the inside. For the front brakes at 28:20, you had placed it facing up and on the inside. Does this matter when replacing them? In order words if I were to put the rear brake pad wear indicator facing up, would that cause any issues? Thanks!
Hey Austin, the breaker indicator position is usually on the bottom of the pad on the inner pad. However if it is put on the top side by accident most cases it doesn't make a difference. Usually I just copy whatever it is that I see assuming that it is from the dealer. I have mixed them up in the past and it doesn't really make a difference so don't be concerned if you have. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
On that rear brake lower bolt at 32:15 minutes, what size Crows Foot is that? I need to get one from my local parts store. Thanks!
Hi Mark, the size that you'll need is a 14 mm or 9/16 if you are in the states, don't forget to hit that subscribe button :-).
First time seeing a brake job that doesn't use loctite on the caliper bracket bolts. Is there a reason for that?
Yes, it's not required. There are certain applications where it is a requirement. For most auto manufacturers out there it is not.
Great video friend
Can you share the part numbers of the PADs? 🙏
Hey victor, thank you for the comment. Unfortunately I don't remember or have the part numbers for the pad. The best thing to do is to look them up online. A good website for reference is RockAuto also if you're in the states for purchasing as well. If you're in Canada well shipping costs are way too expensive. Good luck my friend I hope this helps.
When I change my front brake pads on my 2018 Hyundai Sonata, will I have to “bleed” the brakes?
You don't necessarily have to bleed your brakes every time you service them. It's not a bad idea if you're capable of doing it. The best place to find out whether you need to as recommended by the manufacture is to look in the owners manual. If you have a friend who has a shop and a brake fluid water content tester that is the absolute best way to find out. I hope that helps you.

Will this apply to a 2019 Elantra sel?
Hello my friend. I don't know whether the torque specifications will apply to your elantra. But the same process of doing brakes and how I do them with painting the caliper brackets greasing and anti-seizing will apply to pretty much any car. However you can take your VIN number to your local dealerships and they will be able to most times tell you what the torque specifications are. If the brakes are disc front and rear I'm pretty sure the process will be pretty close to the same if not exactly the same. Not sure 100% however. Good luck my friend.
The one thing that I did not see was using brake cleaner on the rotors. Great video though.
The reason you didn't see me is brake clean on the rotors is because they are coated rotors. With coated rotors you should never use brake clean on them.
Thank you for that explanation. I did not know that, and would have made that mistake!
Hey no worries. Thanks for asking the question I'm sure somebody else was potentially thinking the same thing. Good luck my friend.
You forgot to put back the master cylinder cap !
Thank you so much for the comment. I did not forget to put it back on I put it on off camera. I don't remember if I mentioned to put it back on though.
@@JimmysAutoClinic You should have shown it !
In the next one I will try my best to remember. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
You make my life a pain in the ass.
Thanks for watching.
